near-vm-types

This crate is a fork of wasmer-types. A significant number of things changed, but the documentation is not up-to-date yet.

This library provides all the types and traits necessary to use WebAssembly easily anywhere.

Among other things, it defines the following types:

• units like Pages or Bytes
• types and values like I32, I64, F32, F64, ExternRef, FuncRef, V128, value conversions, ExternType, FunctionType etc.
• native contains a set of trait and implementations to deal with WebAssembly types that have a direct representation on the host,
• memory_view, an API to read/write memories when bytes are interpreted as particular types (i8, i16, i32 etc.)
• indexes contains all the possible WebAssembly module indexes for various types
• initializers for tables, data etc.
• features to enable or disable some WebAssembly features inside the Wasmer runtime

Acknowledgments

This project borrowed some of the code for the entity structure from cranelift-entity. We decided to move it here to help on serialization/deserialization and also to ease the integration with other tools like loupe.
